Scowcroft was rabidly anti-Israel
and rabidly pro the muslim Albanians against the Christian Serbs.
There’s more. I think those were the times when we were younger and not paying attention. I was just happy there was a Republican in office and unaware of the deep divisions within the party. Couldn’t count on Reagan dropping him in 84’ so it was up to us to make that call. Dole would have been better but Bush was part of the winning team and could not be counted on to win. My idea? Trump wins and Pence goes for ONE term only. Put it squarely into the hands of all voters. Perhaps Jr. in 2028 but that’s too soon. There will be good governors out there with a vetted track record.
